ABOUT SIGNMYCAR!

WHAT?

SignMyCar! is a multimedia documentary about everyday Belgians in the US. I travel throughout the country to live with fellow Belgians for a few days and document their lives with photo documentaries and video interviews. After each visit, participants SignMyCar! The reader - you - can then go online and click on the car to discover the person behind each signature.

This project explores the struggles and joys of creating a new home in a foreign country through the lives Belgian Immigrants. It talks about finding a new balance between two worlds while remaining oneself. Through my interviews and photo-essays, I hope to build a bridge among cultures to promote multiculturalism, mutual respect and compassion.
